3. Herman Daly, once a senior World Bank economist, strayed from the reservation long ago. grist.org/article/bank/
4. He has long sought a "steady-state" model for post-extractive human dynamics. pages.wustl.edu/files/pages/im…
5. His greatest value, to my eye, is challenging norms of what he calls "growthism."
6. @KateRaworth is a UK economist who's added layers of detail and a new framework helpful in shaping policies and practices that maximize human wellbeing within planetary limits. Voila, #doughnuteconomics. (photo via @frectally)
7. She also coined the term #manthropocene, which I love, after I blogged from an Anthropocene Working Group meeting noting the maleness factor. j.mp/revkinanthropo….

I'm blown away by the idea blitz & connectivity at our first face-to-face @columbia @earthinstitute #climatecomm #sustcomm network meetup & workshop. Despite snow, ~100 students, staff, faculty, alums explored ways to accelerate & spread climate & CO2 progress. A few threads: 1/
@DrKateMarvel, Cynthia T. of @climatesociety, @climateofgavin, Jeremy H. of @earthinstitute & others focused on building a creative & effective arts/climate relationship. More soon! Relevant reading: @alexisfrasz artplaceamerica.org/blog/5-things-… @thinkprogress thinkprogress.org/art-culture-cl… 2/
We explored humor & climate (yes) via a visit by @RollieWilliams, aka "Al Gore", host of @InconvenientTS! I mentioned one of my favorite examples of student #climateart with purpose - a Halifax art student's Facebook chat among endangered species (linked to a @WWF campaign) 3/

Blown away by the turnout, insights & brainstorming on #coveringclimateHOW (vital facet of #coveringclimatenow) at our first @BrownInstitute @earthinstitute #sustcomm #climatecomm mixer. Scientists & journalists huddling over random stories to find new angles. And what a mix! 1/
And led off by a fine panel on pathways to effective climate reporting featuring Moses Shumow of @EmersonSOC, @SominiSengupta of @nytclimate & @johnupton of @climatecentral, which is doing great partnerships/collaborative journalism (including with @earthinstitute soon). 2/
Where else can you hear a chat involving a PhD in education design (@omangen), climate-focused comedian (@chucknicecomic) and the architect of endclimatesilence.org and scholar of #climatechange usage (@DoctorVive)? 3/

More coming soon on our @earthinstitute #SustainWhat blog!

With Earth experiencing hyper-fast change in human footprints, heat-trapping CO2, species mobility, energy & information tech, what the hell do you work on to boost confidence in sustainable progress? (Add deep complexity + @deepuncertainty)

Boost & spread key *capacities*. 1/3
In 2013, I proposed this shorthand for capacities to boost and spread in pursuit of #SDGs or your preferred definition of enduring human progress on a thriving planet:

Bend, stretch, reach, teach, reveal, reflect, rejoice, repeat. #DotEarth context: j.mp/bendstretchrea… 2/3
I explored this "bend, stretch, reach, teach..." menu in a @TEDx talk in Portland: j.mp/tedxperfect 3/3

It's evolved since then. I have added the word "respect"... Wonder why..

Watch, read, react (with respect).

My Dear Good People of Rivers State

I am constrained to address you again after my last broadcast of Thursday, March 26, 2020.

#COVIDー19
After some days of monitoring the level of compliance of the State Government's directive for markets in the state to be closed, we were shocked to discover that some markets have continued to violate the sit-at-home order.

#COVIDー19
We have no choice than to make some painful, but necessary decisions to further prevent the spread of coronavirus in the State.

Therefore, after a meeting of the State Security Council today, the following decisions were taken:

1/21 After caring for patients in the ICU with #COVID for the last week, the time seems right for a #pulmonology #tweetorial on #Proning or #PronePositioning

@sanjayvdesai @OslerResidency @JHUPCCMFellows @CPSolvers @thecurbsiders @cardionerds @tony_breu @david_furfaro @chadhoc
2/ Let’s begin with a question: how does prone positioning improve oxygenation in patients with severe Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS)?
3/ First, some history. Prone positioning was first proposed in the 1970’s as a method to improve gas exchange in resp. failure and has long been shown to improve Pa/FiO2 in mechanically ventilated patients with severe ARDS.

Participating in an intern'l webinar with the Chinese Cardiology Association to discuss lessons learned with #COVID-19. Learning from our colleagues. Helping us to prepare. Teamwork. @ACCinTouch #ACCIntl All welcome. From 8-10 EDT. Today March 18.heartm.docbook.com.cn/#/meeting_noti… #COVID19
@ACCinTouch Chinese colleagues making strong point about the asymptomatic transmission. Bin Cao emphasizing the importance of using the N95 masks. For healthcare workers. [Implication: importance for us to solve the shortage problem - he is giving a warning; talking about risk to HCWs.]
@ACCinTouch Chinese colleagues sharing clinical features of #COVID19; one distinctive thing is that dry cough common; but little difference in presentation with flu. In Wuhan experience… 12% had acute cardiac injury. 7% acute kidney injury.

1/n
Thread for healthcare providers on video consultations (VCs) as a partial solution to #COVID pandemic. I’ll cover RESEARCH, CLINICAL, TECHNICAL, STRATEGIC and OPERATIONAL issues.

Mute this thread if not interested – it’s quite long.
2/n
 RESEARCH - RCTs
In trials, VCs appear to be safe, effective & popular but almost all RCTs were confided to highly selected patients with chronic stable conditions. Most RCT evidence is irrelevant to the current acute, escalating situation.
3/n
 RESEARCH – QUALITATIVE CASE STUDIES
Introducing VC in real-world settings is a complex change that disrupts roles, relationships and routines. It is more resource-intensive and takes longer than most people anticipate, and failure is common.

A back-of-the-enveloppe thread on the spread of #COVIDー19:

1) HUBEI province (ca 60 million people) has had close to 3000 deaths. It still has an active caseload of ca 20 K patients & some 130 new cases a day, & ca 30 daily deaths. So I expect up to 3500 deaths, assuming...1/9
...a winding down of the epidemic there by end March. If,stress IF, the rest of the world became like Hubei (0.8%of world population), the death toll could be of ca 400 K with a cumulative number of cases of ca 8 million.This possibly sets the outer bounds of a Covid pandemic 2/n
Of course, active measures in the world may prevent Hubei-scale outbreaks so this is unlikely to happen (conversely, late but tough measures in Hubei have also limited Covid's spread in that province).

2) GOOD NEWS though in rest of mainland China ( minus Hubei, HK,Macau): 3/n
